Brighton: Drug dealer convicted after plain clothes patrol
A drug dealer has been convicted after officers conducted the patrols
Sussex police have confirmed a drug dealer has been convicted after officers from the Tactical Firearms Unit (TFU) conducted the patrols in Brighton.
Officers noticed Fiorent Muharremi acting suspiciously as passenger in a taxi in the Clifton Road and Clifton Hill area on Wednesday, February 7.
The force said he had taken a short journey of just 100 metres when he alighted from the vehicle for a second time.
The plain clothes officers stopped him and carried out a search.
During the search, cash and 30 bags of class A and B drugs were found.
Muharremi was arrested on suspicion of possessing class A and B drugs with intent to supply.
At Brighton Magistrates’ Court on February 8 he admitted both charges and was remanded in custody.
Muharremi will appear for sentencing at Lewes Crown Court on March 7.
TFU Inspector Oli Fisher said:
“Our highly-trained officers conduct a variety of duties above and beyond armed response, and regularly carry out patrols to assist our colleagues across the force.
“This includes proactive operations to help disrupt the supply of drugs, which cause so much harm in our communities".
